The Chamber of Digital Commerce (CDC), a U.S. advocacy organization, expressed satisfaction with the court ruling in support of Ripple, aligning with their stance as stated in their amicus brief.
On August 1, the CDC released a comprehensive report analyzing the impact of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. The report highlights the ruling’s significance for the future of the crypto industry.
According to the CDC’s evaluation, Judge Analisa Torres’s decision establishes an essential precedent in the realm of digital currency. It distinguishes between investment contracts and the underlying assets, representing a groundbreaking development in crypto regulation.
In the report, Judge Torres’s categorization of Ripple’s XRP token distributions into three classes—institutional sales, programmatic sales, and other distributions—is scrutinized.
She meticulously applied the ‘Howey Test’ to determine whether these distributions could be considered an offer and sale of investment contracts.

CDC Celebrates Ripple Court Ruling and Advocates for Crypto Regulation
The Chamber of Digital Commerce (CDC), led by Perianne Boring, the founder, and CEO, expressed satisfaction with the court ruling in favor of Ripple. They had supported Ripple through an amicus brief, and the ruling aligned with their stance, marking a victory for their advocacy efforts.
Boring highlighted the ruling’s importance, as it sets significant precedents for future legal cases in the crypto industry. The CDC firmly believes in the need for a fair and level playing field in the digital asset sector and is committed to advocating policies that support U.S. leadership in the digital economy.
While Judge Torres’ ruling was a positive step towards sensible crypto regulations, the CDC stresses that clear and definitive regulatory guidelines can only be achieved through effective legislation by Congress. They are actively working towards achieving this goal to create a well-defined regulatory landscape for the crypto industry.
CDC Advocates for Comprehensive Legal Framework for Digital Assets
The Chamber of Digital Commerce (CDC) acknowledges the introduction of several blockchain and digital asset regulatory bills in both the House and Senate. However, they express concerns about the possibility of these bills becoming law, mainly due to constraints posed by the legislative calendar.
Despite the challenges, the CDC remains committed to advocating for a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets. They aim to create an environment conducive to digital asset product launches. In February, the CDC accused the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of exceeding its authority and unfairly labeling crypto assets as securities during an insider trading case involving ex-Coinbase employees.
The CDC continues its efforts to address these issues and ensure fair and appropriate regulations for the digital asset industry.
